Hello, I was wondering if the 5 year history can be just one Dr. visit a year with weight recorded or what the standard is. I have a two years with a couple of office visit's but the other 3 I refused to let them weigh me.

Also, I have a record for each 5 years and all but one of the years I am over the 40 bmi - for one year I am at 39.1. Any one dealt with getting denied for having just one year that isn't at the 40? Not sure if I qualify for co-mid's, but I have high cholesterol and back and neck pain, and my PCP has noted in his recommendation letter about those conditions.

I'd love to hear someone else's experience with this - I am stressing out that I'll get denied and of course I've so set my hopes on being able to get this done with insurance paying.

Everyinsurance is differant. I had some problems with dates missing. I just put in my letter that I had tried to get the stuff from past doctors and was not able to since it was more than 5 years sincce I had been to see him. I also found some records from when I had physicals at work and used them. You could also go to your OBGYN and other doctors. I can forward you a copy of the letter I used and was approved.

That would be grreat - I'd like to make sure I have as many ducks in a row as possible for the first submittal!

Hi Chris61, I am also in the same boat as azrosebud and wondered if it would be okay if I could see a copy of the letter you submitted as well.

No problem just e-mail me your address and I will send it to you.
